Inscription
Præhonorabilis vir Joannes Hookham Frere
Ab ingenuâ stirpe in agro Britannorum Norfolciensi oriundus
Regii ablegati Munere in Lusitaniâ,
Eodemque unâ et alterâ vice in Hispaniâ, egregiè perfunctus,
Melitam denique, uxoris suæ valetudinis causâ, se recepit, atque ibi 25
annos commoratus est.
Hic cultu Literarum quas semper ab adolescentiâ in deliciis habuit
senectutem oblectans,
(Minime interea suorum immemor)
Eruditos Commercio Studiorum Familiares verò et Advenas Comitate
& Hospitalitate
Pauperes etiam largissimâ Munificentiâ ita sibi devinxerat,
Ut interitus ejus publica quædam Calamitas fuisse videretur,
Et nomen post se reliquerit pio omnium amore prosequendum
Quod faxit Deus ut Vitæ quoque sempiternæ Libro
Ob Christi merita inscriptum reperiatur--
Natus est Londini 21 Mens. Maii 1769---Obiit 7 Mens. Janii 1846.
